Evaluate: 2 × {17 - 2 × (10 - 5)}

The correct answer is

14

To evaluate the expression 2 × {17 - 2 × (10 - 5)}, we need to follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Simplify expressions inside the parentheses first:
    • The innermost parentheses is (10 - 5). Calculate: 10 - 5 = 5.
  2. Substitute the result back into the expression: 2 × {17 - 2 × 5}.
  3. Next, perform the multiplication:
    • Calculate 2 × 5 = 10.
  4. Update the expression: 2 × {17 - 10}.
  5. Now perform the subtraction:
    • Calculate 17 - 10 = 7.
  6. Update the expression with the new result: 2 × 7.
  7. Finally, perform the multiplication:
    • Calculate 2 × 7 = 14.

The evaluated result of the given expression is 14.
